Vegetarian restaurants in Helsinki

I’ve visited only two vegetarian restaurants in Helsinki. One of them is Zucchini which is just a few blocks away so I visit it quite frequently for lunch. They have a single choice for lunch (8 euro) and an optional soup which costs only 1 euro, so I usually take the soup as well. The picture above is of a typical example of a portion you get at Zucchini. Around lunch time this lively restaurant is usually filled up with workers from the many bank offices that surround it, but there is quite a bit of other regulars as well. The food is good and I like the atmosphere well enough to keep going there.

Another restaurant called Vege is on Uudenmaankatu. I’ve been there only once, but it was a nice place as well. A lot bigger and the atmosphere is more airy with more ambient light etc. The third place is called Silvoplee. It’s run by a semi-celebrity turned all new age and vegan.
